Solution

The third layer of soil from the top is called the Subsoil or B Horizon. This layer is below the topsoil (A Horizon) and above the weathered parent rock (C Horizon). It is often less fertile and less affected by the weather compared to the topsoil. It contains more minerals and less organic material.
